Fire door replacement in Cheshire: how we work
We supply and fit fire door replacement across Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester and Crewe. Every job starts with a free measure survey and ends with a handover pack listing each certified doorset fitted.
Which rules apply in Cheshire?
New and replacement fire doors in Cheshire are specified under the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep fire doors in working order, and in residential buildings with a storey above 11 metres regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds quarterly checks of communal doors and annual checks of flat entrance doors.
Cost of fire door replacement in Cheshire
Guide prices for fire door replacement in Cheshire run from about £750 to £1,150 per doorset, supplied and fitted, ex VAT. Size, glazing, finish and ironmongery move the price, and the survey quote is fixed.
The biggest price drivers are leaf size, glazing, finish and ironmongery; upper floors without lifts and restricted parking can also affect fitting cost.

Common questions in Cheshire
Which rules apply in Cheshire?
Doors are specified to Approved Document B (England) and your fire risk assessment or fire strategy. We confirm the rating of each door at survey.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset.
Can you replace just the door leaf?
Only if the existing frame is covered by the new leaf's evidence, which is uncommon. A complete doorset is usually needed.
